Michelin Pilot sport 4s tyres

Hi,
Specifically 265/35/R19 ... anyone know if there is some sort of shortage of these or something to do with the time of year/seasonal thing going on. I seem to have been looking around for a while and just can't find them?

Regards,

Sorry I didn't look I just thought they would perhaps have stock. Seems a bit odd. Will be worth waiting for though! Great tyres

Not familiar with them but just had a look and can't see any.
Not sure what's going on, thinking maybe production slows during the winter months or something?

**So just went to Michelin who say the tyres are available but couldn't say where, they are going to look into it and Email me a stock update.

And the answer is:

Thank you for contacting MICHELIN Customer Care.

We received the information from our stock department that it will be available early 2019.

Please do not hesitate to contact us again if you have any further questions, we will be more than happy to help.

Have just been looking for the same, the shortage seems to have continued.

Looking at what is available, any thoughts on :

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S

Front
255/35 R19 £166 each, 10mm wider and £22 cheaper than standard fit 245s

Rear
285/35 R19 £266 each, 20mm wider than (unavailable?) standard fit 265s

From looking in the wheel and tyre section on here, I've noticed a lot of the US guys who track their cars have fitted wide tyres. There's a lot of info if you look around and I think there may be some pitfalls with clearance on the suspension etc if you do go substantially wider, so it's worth doing the research.

If you run wider at same profile ratio they will be taller too, so mess up speedo etc. But ODO will record less miles, so could be useful

Why not just use PSS? Just as good and cheaper, still the OE tyre.
